Early Saturday morning, Governor Ned Lamont announced that the Connecticut Dept of Transportation ha installed a webcam providing the public with a real-time, live video feed of the ongoing demolition of the Fairfield Avenue Bridge on I-95 in Norwalk.
On Thursday there was a crash involving a car, a tanker truck carrying fuel oil and a tractor trailer truck. The tanker truck caught on fire under the bridge. No one was injured, but approximately 4,000 gallons of gasoline burned, damaging the bridge.

“There is significant interest in this ongoing emergency project, and this live video feed will help in our mission of keeping the public informed of the latest conditions on the highway,” Governor Lamont said.
“We encourage everyone to view the video feed safely from home and do not attempt to travel to Norwalk to visit the scene up close,” Lamont added. “Let the crews do their jobs so the highway can get reopened as quickly as possible.”
Motorists are strongly urged to avoid driving on I-95 in the Norwalk region throughout the weekend.
